I just saw a nice video of someone demonstrating how he picked a Kryptonite U-Lock bike lock in about 10 seconds with a Bic pen. He just took the end cap off of the pen and stuck it in the key hole, turned it a few times and opened it. I will be switching locks until they come out with either new one(will be Bic Pen proof), which they are now scrambling to do. Just thought i would pass that along incase you havent seen or heard about it.
Kryptonite Locks

I have a few Kryptonite locks, and I tried the pen trick. I couldn't get any of them to open the lock. Runined only 3 bic pens on the experiment. I even have the two locks they show on the clip.
I was just thinking....if it had worked, I would have had to repeat the trick backwards to get the lock functional again. Then again, if someone really wants your bike they'll get it. Same people who break a hundred dollar window to get a 10 dollar CD.

But it's not *their* window, so they don't care if it is a 2-dollar window or a 2,000 dollar window.......

I'm with porter.. regardless of what lock you have, if they *really* want your bike, they'll get it.. think locks are more of a deterrent than anything else

locks keep honest people honest...a criminal will always get what they want.
the Kryptonites were junk 20+ years ago.
I once watched the maintanance guys at UW Wisconsin clear a bike rack(was marked with a date move them or lose them)in about 5 min of a dozen bikes locked with kryptonite locks. They sprayed them with a marine style freon horn and hit them with a hammer....they just shattered into little pieces.
the super thick multi filament cables are where its at. even with a cut off saw they are hard to cut.

until you spray the locking mechanism with refrigerant and whack it with a hammer.
